Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16384

Chapter 16382. Speculation

Upon hearing this, Wan Ling frowned slightly, then said, “We don’t know yet, but let’s be prepared.” The others all responded, their eyes still fixed on the projection. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario didn’t occur. The magic released by the Creation Golden Wheel only broke through the soil and reached the first level of the underground base before stopping. To be precise, it was blocked by the magic array on the first level. Seeing this, Wan Ling breathed a sigh of relief. He was relieved that the worst hadn’t happened.

Just then, countless cultivators flew out from the Creation Golden Wheels. These cultivators directly entered the underground base through the openings created by the Creation Golden Wheels, and the battle ensued.

Wan Hui was a disciple of the Wan family. He was assigned to the first level. He knew it was extremely dangerous, but orders were orders, and he dared not disobey. Even as a member of the Wan family, he dared not disobey orders.

He saw the Blood Slaughter Sect members using the Golden Wheel of Creation to cleave the earth, creating a passage leading directly to the underground base. He knew then that a fierce battle was inevitable, but he was prepared.

The battle quickly erupted. Countless Blood Slaughter Sect disciples charged into the underground base. Wan Hui clashed with a Blood Slaughter Sect disciple, but he was very familiar with the terrain, so he fought and retreated, intending to retreat to where the others outnumbered him and join the attack.

He retreated quite a distance when suddenly, a cultivator from a small family emerged from the cave wall and attacked the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple. The Blood Slaughter Sect disciple was clearly prepared, but the small family disciple’s attack was too sudden. Although he was prepared, his preparations were insufficient, and the small family disciple’s longsword pierced the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple’s neck.

However, the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple was no pushover. Just as the longsword pierced his neck, the disciple’s long saber suddenly twisted, plunging into the chest of the minor family disciple. The minor family disciple’s smug expression hadn’t even faded when he froze, staring blankly at the saber in disbelief. He hadn’t expected his opponent’s dying counterattack to be so powerful, capable of taking him down with him.

The next moment, the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with resentment, ultimately dying. The minor family disciple, however, turned into a wisp of black smoke and vanished without a trace.

Wan Hui, who had just been fighting the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples, was completely dumbfounded upon seeing this situation. After a moment, his expression changed, and he immediately exclaimed, “The Creation God Sect?”

Thinking of this, he glanced around, then his figure flashed, and he quickly left the passage, disappearing in the blink of an eye. After he vanished, the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple who had been lying dead on the ground rose again. He glanced in the direction Wan Hui had fled and muttered, “Not very brave.” After saying this, his figure disappeared as well. He was already withdrawing from the battle. Since his body had disappeared, no one would suspect anything. People in the Divine Kingdom knew that after a Blood Slaughter Sect member died in battle, their body was usually collected by other members of the sect. So even if his body disappeared, Wan Hui wouldn’t suspect anything; he would only assume that someone from the Blood Slaughter Sect had passed by and taken his body, not suspecting his resurrection. His goal, however, had been achieved. He had shown Wan Hui that the disciple of that small family had turned into black smoke, thus revealing that the member of that small family had become a member of the Creation God Cult.

In fact, all the battles in the underground base were under the control of the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples. Before attacking the underground base, the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples already knew who had become a member of the Creation God Cult in the underground base of Wuwei City. They only needed to kill the Creation God Cult members in front of the disciples of those large families, turning their bodies into black smoke, and then the disciples of those large families would naturally know that the Creation God Cult had reappeared.

In fact, it wasn’t just the powerful families who discovered the presence of members of the Creation God Cult; military personnel and members of various sects also discovered them.

Meanwhile, the Blood Slaughter Sect’s losses were mounting, and all its disciples withdrew from the underground base. After leaving, they returned directly to the Creation Golden Wheels, which then flew straight towards Thousand Lotus Mountain, quickly passing it and disappearing from sight.

After the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples retreated, Wan Ling, who had been gathering intelligence from all sides, said in a deep voice, “They actually made it to the eighth level! A few more levels and they’ll be here.”

Another elder nodded, “Indeed, that’s right. We never expected them to attack so fiercely, reaching the eighth level.”

“However, their losses this time were enormous. They must have lost at least ten million people, right?”

“More or less. The Blood Slaughter Sect probably didn’t have that many people; they couldn’t withstand such losses, so they retreated. It seems they won’t easily attack our underground base again next time.”

Everyone nodded. Wan Ling said, “I will report this situation immediately. General Li must also know about this victory.” The other elders also nodded.

At this moment, a disciple walked in. He came to Wan Ling but didn’t speak. Instead, he glanced at the other elders. Wan Ling noticed his expression. He didn’t ask the disciple what he wanted to say but waved his hand. With his gesture, the disciple stepped aside. Wan Ling then turned to the other elders and said, “Everyone, go back and make arrangements. Report this victory.” Knowing that Wan Ling wanted to speak with the disciple alone, the elders didn’t stay. They bowed to Wan Ling and then turned to leave.

After the elders left, Wan Ling asked the disciple who was about to speak, “What is it?”

The disciple replied, “Elder, the clan disciples reported that during the battle, they discovered that some disciples from smaller clans, after dying, did not leave behind their bodies but turned into wisps of black smoke. If those disciples hadn’t died in front of them, and hadn’t witnessed the smoke, they wouldn’t have believed what they saw.”

Upon hearing this, Wan Ling’s expression changed. “Are you sure? They really turned into black smoke?”

The disciple nodded. “Yes, it’s confirmed. More than one disciple reported this, so it’s true.”

Wan Ling waved his hand. “Alright, go. Remember, don’t tell anyone about this.” The disciple acknowledged, bowed to Wan Ling, and stepped aside.

Wan Ling immediately took out a jade slip, typed in some information, and sent it—a battle report for General Li. He then took out another jade slip, wrote something down, and sent it out. This time, it wasn’t for General Li, but for Wan Hai. Besides the battle report, the jade slip also contained information about the corpses of members of smaller families turning into black smoke after their deaths. He could tell Wan Hai this immediately, but not General Li.

In fact, all the major families and sect leaders knew about this immediately, because their family members or sect disciples had also witnessed the same thing.

While Wan Ling and his group were dealing with the aftermath of the battle, Wan Hai and his group also learned of this. Upon learning this, Wan Hai’s expression changed, and he immediately summoned several core elders of the Wan family to his study. After they all arrived, he looked at them and said, “Wan Ling sent back a letter from the front lines. Take a look.” He then took out a jade slip and handed it to one of the elders. After reading it, the elder’s expression changed, and he immediately passed it to another elder. Soon, all the elders had read the contents of the letter.

At this moment, an elder spoke up, “Is it the Creation God Cult?”

The other elders remained silent, but they all knew the elder was right; it was indeed the Creation God Cult.

Wan Hai said, “Everyone knows about the Creation God Cult. They were supposed to be wiped out, but unexpectedly, they’ve managed to rise again. What do you think we should do about this?”

One of the elders then said, “Should we report it to His Majesty? If we do, won’t His Majesty order a thorough investigation? If he does, you should know the consequences; the front lines will definitely be greatly affected.”

Wan Hai said in a deep voice, “I’m also troubled by this. If we report it, His Majesty will definitely investigate thoroughly, and the front lines will certainly be affected. But what I’m worried about now is whether His Majesty already knows about this. Don’t forget, this battle in Wuwei City wasn’t just…” People from our aristocratic families participated, as did people from the sect alliance, the military, and the royal family. If our family members can find out, other families can find out, the sect alliance members can find out, the military members, and the royal family members can find out too. If His Majesty also knows about this, there will definitely be changes at the front lines. But what worries me even more, do you know? It’s that I’m worried there might be members of the Blood Slaughter Sect among those rogue cultivators. Don’t forget, the Blood Slaughter Sect has a branch that is the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and there have been far too many rogue cultivators who joined the Myriad Laws Divine Sect before. Although they may not have joined sincerely, they are still disciples of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. If the Myriad Laws Divine Sect wants to get information from them, it won’t be difficult for them.”
